TenGoku Aburiya is a favorite gem in the city, offering delicious Japanese food in an intimate setting. The servers and kitchen staff are amazing, and the izakaya style allows for sharing different dishes. Top recommendations include Maze Soba, Akami, and tomato bacon skewer. The sesame pudding dessert is a must-try for its creamy texture and sesame flavor. While some skewers like Chadol enoki fell short, dishes like Shio Pork Belly and fresh nigiris make the dining experience worth the price. The cozy atmosphere and attentive service create a very pleasant dining experience. Customers often enjoy toro tartare, which has a perfectly soft and buttery texture, and juicy, flavorful shio pork belly with tasty sauce. Some dishes like chicken karaage and nigiri pieces are high quality, though the ginger flavor in the chicken and the strong wasabi in the nigiri may not suit everyone. The restaurant offers a variety of noodle, rice, and sushi options, all fresh and delicious. Their bento box provides small bites that are both varied and tasty, and dishes like Gyudon and Spicy Butadon are favorites. Overall, it’s a great place for quality Japanese cuisine in a comfortable, casual space.
